Mounted in front of the baler wheels and directly below the bale chamber, the pickup hugs the ground for clean crop retrieval. Hay movement is minimized. V-belt driven. 449, 459E, and 459 Baler pickups are 116.6 cm (45.9 in.) wide.

559 and 569 Baler pickups are 156 cm (61.4 in.) wide. Large reel shaft and reel bearing The small-diameter, low-profile pickup allows for good ground gauging and clean crop retrieval. Handles large, heavy windrows of hay and high-moisture crops.

Feeds hay directly to the forming chamber to reduce crop loss. Low-profile pickup minimizes hay lift to reduce chaffing to retain hay quality Side flares prevent hay from blowing off the pickup ends and reduce hay loss. The closely spaced pickup teeth extend to the baler side sheets to help build straight-edged bales.

Standard on regular and MegaTooth™ pickups, compressor rods are contoured to control hay over the pickup radius for positive feeding. The compressor rack can be adjusted upward or downward to match the volume of material in windrow and can be easily removed to match crop conditions. A MegaWide Plus pickup is available on 449, 459, 559, and 569 Round Balers. It is base equipment on the 459 Silage Special, 559 Silage Special, 469, 469 Silage Special, and 569 Silage Special Balers. This pickup makes baling easier, especially in wide or windblown windrows, and increases productivity; more hay volume means more bales per hour.

Available only on the MegaWide Plus pickup, the patented roller baffle is self-adjusting and produces smoother crop flow across the pickup. The roller also improves crop pickup in small windrows and prevents roll ahead of crop. When combined with the MegaWide Plus pickup, this feeding system allows increased ground speed with less chance of plugging, for increased productivity in all field conditions.

Self-adjusting. Smoothes crop for even flow across pickup.

Allows for faster ground speed with less chance of plugging. Increases operator productivity. Auger and rotor feed system The MegaWide Plus pickup uses a rotor feeding assembly, which mounts behind the pickup for smooth and even crop flow into the bale chamber.

Augers and rotor teeth are driven on the same shaft, eliminating the need for additional drives. The rotor is fixed to the baler frame, allowing positive and even feeding into the bale chamber. Large-diameter converging augers have high crop-flow capacity, and auger scrolls help to force crop into the chamber. Spiral design enhances feeding in uneven windrows and reduces loading on the rotor.

Semi-pneumatic gauge wheels provide smooth ground gauging over uneven terrain and protection to the pickup. Stiffer rubber sidewalls.

No air pressure to maintain, which mean no flat tires. Adjustable to meet pickup tooth-to-stubble height requirements The pickup float springs are positioned for excellent flotation. Adjustable to meet varying field conditions. Float springs only support the pickup reel. Rotor assembly is fixed to the baler frame, eliminating additional weight on the pickup system. B-Wrap is applied onto bales just like net wrap, but it protects hay much better than net. B-Wrap includes a special patented material with Tama SCM™ technology.

It sheds rain and snow while protecting the bale from ground moisture. Plus this material has microscopic pores that let water vapor inside the bale escape. B-Wrap is the alternative to indoor storage, delivering barn-quality hay without the barn. B-Wrap protects bale quality in all types of crops. Use B-Wrap on top-quality hay, as well as straw, peanut hay, and corn stalks. The B-Wrap kit is easy to install. The kit includes wiring that connects a sensor to the bale monitor and an EPOM chip is also added to the bale monitor.

The B-Wrap kit is available for all 9 Series Round Balers and comes as standard equipment on the 469 Premium and 569 Premium. This kit also works on these 7 and 8 Series Round Balers equipped for netwrap: 457, 457 Silage Special, 467, 467 Silage Special, 557, 567, 458, 458 Silage Special, 468, 468 Silage Special, 558, and 568 Round Balers. (7 and 8 Series Balers must be equipped with a speed compensation/slip-clutch alert kit (BE32317). This speed compensation kit was standard equipment on some later 8 Series Balers. Balers with this kit have sensors on the slip clutch.). B-Wrap works in round balers much like netwrap. The B-Wrap kit allows a baler to use either B-Wrap or net.

Switching between net and B-Wrap will take less than 5 minutes. Simply switch rolls, properly thread the new wrap into the baler, and then change bale monitor settings. Here is how B-Wrap works in the baler. When a bale reaches the maximum size programmed into the monitor, the operator stops forward travel and wrapping begins. The first length of B-Wrap is John Deere CoverEdge™ netwrap. John Deere CoverEdge goes right over the edge or the bale, pulling in loose crop material, giving the bale a solid, weather-resistant shape. The next length of B-Wrap includes the patented material with Tama SCM technology.

It sheds rain and snow, and protects bales from ground moisture. The final length covering a bale is two more wraps of John Deere CoverEdge net. This securely holds the weather-resistant Tama SCM in place. Limitations of B-Wrap:. While B-Wrap does allow moisture inside the bale to escape, baling hay too wet will cause mold to form.

B-Wrap is for dry hay only. Operators should bale hay at the same moisture level they would when using net. B-Wrap can dramatically reduce bale damage caused by ground moisture, but bales must be stored in a well-drained location. To make sure the seam of the Tama SCM is in the proper location, bale kickers and bale ramps must be deactivated. The bale operator must back up about 10 ft before ejecting a B-Wrap bale.

B-Wrap does cost more per bale than net wrap, but it protects feed value much better. Users report that hay and straw looked and smelled like the day it was baled, even after a winter stored outside. B-Wrap is only available initially with a standard kit.

The standard kit (BE32467) requires the operator to shut off the PTO with each bale. Full production available in US and Canada for 2014.

Baler with XL high-flotation tires The XL high-flotation 21.5L-16.1 10 PR tires (1) are available on 459, 459 Silage Special, 559, 559 Silage Special, 469, 469 Silage Special, 469 Premium, 569, 569 Silage Special, and 569 Premium. All machines must have MegaWide™ Plus pickup. The high-flotation 14L–16.1 tires (2) are available on all models except the 459E, 469 Premium, 569 Silage Special, and 569 Premium.

The 14L – 16.1 tires have replaced the 31 x 13.5 tires. The larger tires absorb shock loads and improve the ride in rough or pivot track ground, decreases compaction in soft ground, and allows increased ground speed for increased productivity. The 459, 459E, 459 Silage Special, 559, 559 Silage Special, 469, 469 Silage Special, 569, and 569 Silage Special Round Balers feature the BaleTrak Pro monitor-controller.

The 449 Round Baler offers the option to have the BaleTrak Pro monitor-controller. On the 449 and 459E this monitor does not allow for all the features of the BaleTrak Pro monitor such as bale shape bars and net wrap. Wrap settings and bale size can be viewed from the monitor. This feature allows the operator to both monitor and control important baler functions for productivity and convenience right from the tractor seat. A 24-bar graph makes it even easier to make a uniform-shaped bale that will stand tall and remain firm over time. The 24 bars provide smaller increments of change to give the operator a more precise indication of bale shape. The 449 and 459E Round Balers do not utilize the bale shape bars like the other models do.

Preset factory settings allow the operator to turn on just one switch and go bale; it's just that easy. The 459, 459 Silage Special, 559, 559 Silage Special, 469, 469 Silage Special, 469 Premium, 569, 569 Silage Special, and 569 Premium use DiamondTough belts.

530 John Deere Round Baler

Belts are constructed using a patented triple-weave process of nylon and polyester materials. They have the strength to handle heavy shock loads and help maintain consistent belt length. The DiamondTough belts are more puncture and tear resistant than other belts on the market and provide improved belt life and reliability. Plate-type fasteners.

The 459, 459 Silage Special, 559, 559 Silage Special, 469, 469 Silage Special, 469 Premium, 569, 569 Silage Special, and 569 Premium use plate-type fasteners. This closed-loop design uses a plate fastener with pre-assembled rivets that lock the fasteners into the belt, providing a powerful vice-type grip on the belt. The plates and rivets are manufactured from high-tensile stainless steel.

Strong belt splices mean less maintenance and more productivity. The loop area is cold forged, making it extremely wear resistant in the coupling area, resulting in a very long cycle life. The spring steel pin is notched and locks into the splice connection without having to bend the pin or use external retainers. Front view of adjustable hitch The 9 Series Round Balers come standard with an adjustable hitch. This feature allows the hitch height to be adjusted to optimize crop-feeding performance. Due to the wide array of tractor tire sizes and drawbar heights, hitch adjustment may be necessary to get the proper feed opening of the baler. The adjustable hitch eliminates the need for the 51-mm (2-in.) thick tractor drawbar kit (AE57344) because it has a wider opening.

Benefits of the adjustable hitch:. Ability to match baler to numerous tire sizes. Allows for drawbar height to fall within 330 mm to 559 mm (13 in. To 22 in.) from top of drawbar to the ground.

Eliminates narrow feed opening on baler which can cause plugging. Allows pickup head to follow terrain without missing crop All eight bolts must be used when adjusting the hitch.
